Hi there, I am looking to buy a fisheye lens for my eos1000. just fancied having a play with something abit different hence not wanting to spend ££££'s on lens.

Ive been on ebay and seen these

does anybody have any experience with them?

Thanks
Rob
 
I have'nt used a fisheye adapter but did use a similar wide angle one. It was ok - it just made everything a bit less sharp, particularly in the corners. That probably won't matter quite so much with a fisheye effect and, of course, it is much cheaper than a dedicated fisheye lens. It would probably be worth trying out to see if you like the effect and then consider getting a true fisheye. I have one (a Nikkor 10.5mm converted to work on a full frame sensor) and I do use it a reasonably amount as the effect can work really well with some subjects. I just wouldn't use it for everything.
 
as mentioned ok on the full fish eye effect.. but pretty poor for wide angles, soft edges and not very sharp.. as sharon, mine went back on ebay pretty sharpish!
 
Hi all, thanks for the replies is that the cheaper ebay ones that do that or even the expensive ones? I was looking for the full fish eye effects, just interested in having a play thats all.
